Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.
This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.
The hands are bigger on Bigfoot.
The evidence is compelling.
But choose to ignore these...
I have seen these types of people vandalize government buildings and go to prison for their crimes. Their leader has 34 felonies and still evades the law to this very day.
In June of 1930 as the depression deepened. The Republicans pressured Herbert Hoover into passing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff act. Over a thousand economists wrote to the President urging him to not sign the bill, Hoover, who was reluctant to sign it, was pressured by his party to sign, he did on June 17th.
The ensuing retaliation from other nations was swift and US exports fell by 18 and 31% during a time that the depression was worsening. Despite assurances by Smoot and Hawley that the tariffs would bring high prosperity, workers and farmers never saw it and the country sank deeper into depression.
Franklin Roosevelt campaigned against the bill and would go on to defeat Hoover and win the white house in a landslide in 1932. Hawley lost his nomination and Smoot with eleven other republican Senators lost their seats in one of the biggest reversals in Senate history.
Tariffs have rarely ever worked and the lesson of the 1930's remains. Today, we have an economy that is the envy of the world but the citizens felt like they were hurting because many had never lived through high inflationary periods. The late 70's and early eighties was the last time we had crippling inflation and it was MUCH worse than todays. I do not believe Americans want Tariffs but they elected an ignoramus who will in all likelihood enact them. The same numbers of economists are warning against them but Donnie Dumbo won't be listening because he is a "stable" genius.
